Chapter 158: Mission
After an afternoon of practice, Tianma got up early the next morning, and once again put on a black suit that he hadn't worn for a week, black clothes and black pants, steel wire armor, a windbreaker, a wine gourd hanging from his waist, a long knife on his back, the long handle of the knife was revealed over his shoulders, and under his long black hair, his eyes were bright and bright, and his demeanor was still the same.
Half an hour later, Tenma stood alone at the mission release site, neither with the ninth or tenth team.
Because of the sudden increase in the number of missions recently, there are many injured ninjas lying in the hospital, and some of them have died, so Konoha is scarce. And because of the amazing strength shown by Tianma in the Konoha counterattack, although he is still a newly promoted middle ninja, he has been used by the top as a top ninja or even an elite upper ninja, and can perform tasks alone.
Of course, this is only a special situation after the war, and after the turmoil has passed, it is still necessary to form a four-person team to carry out the mission.
The white-haired little Lori who sat behind the desk in front of Tenma explained.
"Alright, what the hell is the mission to call me here?" Noncommittally pursed his lips.,Tenma looks like a little adult.,Self-Lai Lori asked angrily.,Originally, I was at home well.,As a result, a mid-ninja identity wants us to sell our lives.,And deliberately let the dark department notify home.。
"Hehe...... "The little guy smiled a little embarrassedly, the peculiar character that only kills such a bad friend does make people a little angry and funny, "It's a B-level escort mission, but it's not a person who is escorted, but an item." ”
As she spoke, Lori tossed a scroll to Pegasus and pulled out a narrow wooden box from under her desk, "The scroll has a mission description in it, and this is an escort item." ”
"Is the middle shinobi going to perform a B-class mission? Remember to double the commission for tasks! Tenma joked, because he believed in Jiraiya's little Lori, so he didn't look through the scroll, and grabbed the wooden box on the table, "I took this task!" ”
Carrying the wooden box behind his back, Pegasus turned and walked out the door.
It wasn't until Tenma had been gone for a long time that two advisors came out of it, a man and a woman, with their old faces and decaying bodies, none other than Koharu and Mito Menyan.
"Why do you want to send the Pegasus out of the village?" Little Lori's expression changed, and she looked at the two old men standing beside her with a serious face, "Didn't the dark department find out that he had nothing to do with that person a long time ago?" ”
"The speed at which the strength of that descendant has risen is too weird, and it has reached this level in just four months, which can be called terrifying. It would not have been possible without the intervention of a strange force. Turning to Xiaochun ignored Jiraiya's seriousness and faint dissatisfaction, and slowly spoke.
Mito Menyan also echoed the old man's words, "Sarufei also suspected him, but he temporarily abandoned the observation without finding evidence, the current situation of Konoha is not strong enough, and the target of the snake Ji has been clearly determined to be that person, so every threat must be eliminated in advance." ”
"Hmph~ Even if that's the case, then you should keep Tenma by your side to watch and observe!" Jiraiya Lori frowned and snorted dissatisfiedly, but she had nothing to say. The progress of Pegasus' strength does make people have to be suspicious.
"Speaking of which, Jiraiya, the fifth Hokage ......"
"I know, I won't be this Hokage anyway, I'll set off to find that cow in three days!" Little Lori rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, and rolled her eyes impatiently, this kind of tiring work is pushed to that hateful cow to do a good job, anyway, she has enough fat to maintain strong energy, don't worry about poor milk!
Here, Pegasus sat cross-legged on the roof of a house and pulled open the quest scroll.
This B-rank mission is to escort a famous sword, which is an orthodox symbol of the Daimyo's status, and safely deliver it to one of the Daimyo heirs of the Mountain Country within two weeks.
"Fortunately, the task is not too complicated, you don't need to participate in the power struggle of the Daimyo family, at most you can solve the ninja sent by another successor to intercept and block." Pegasus raised his eyebrows and looked carefully at the map drawn in the scroll, a little remote, "At this distance, it will only take three or five days to complete the full speed, and it will only take a week or two to go back and forth." ”
After returning home and leaving a note and money, Tenma turns around and begins his first solo mission.
The moment he ran out of the Konoha Gate, a kunai with a quest voucher wiped the corner of Zitetsu's eyes with a leisurely face nailed to the gate, and the strong wind brought up Nakashinobi's low-hanging hair, Tenma undoubtedly showed a good upbringing, completely inheriting and carrying out the tradition of his predecessors before leaving the village.
"Hey~ The little ghost now is really infuriating!" Immortal Shinobu spit out the hay in the corner of his mouth, reached out and plucked the kunai, and glanced at the voucher, "Huh~ Is it the blue flame that suddenly rose?" ”
Unbeknownst to him, the Blue Flame that he had accidentally called on the battlefield a week ago had officially become his name, and Pegasus struggled to sprint towards the Land of Mountains at top speed under twice the gravity.
Because he is still in the land of fire, Pegasus is not worried about being attacked by ninjas from other countries, so there is no need to retain chakra and physical strength, and long-distance sprints will also increase the progress of the body's basic attributes, especially under 2 times the gravity.
Pegasus didn't carry anything like dry food, and the military ration pills sold in the store were enough to support his physical strength, not to mention the occasional small town and city supply location along the way.
Sealing the wooden box into the scroll, the long knife behind Pegasus also retracted into his backpack, and his whole body ran all the way with ease, full power, and it was only one day that he had already rushed to the border of the Fire Country.
Finding a small village on the border, Tianma rested well for the night, restored chakra and physical strength, and with the help of medicinal wine, completed the cultivation of thunder attribute chakra activated cells, and there was nothing to do all night.
Early the next morning, Pegasus left the border of the Land of Fire, and instead of quietly escaping into the mountains and forests, he swaggered along the nearest route from the Land of Fire to the Land of Mountains, galloping rapidly along the official road.
Tenma is in a hurry, and I'm afraid that Itachi will come to Konoha in the next few days, right? The situation in the village has also stabilized, and after dealing with the accumulated work, Jiraiya Lori estimates that she will soon take the little fox on a journey to find Tsunade.
These events are not to be missed by Tenma. Not only do I want to meet these characters, but because this is likely to be one of the few main quests or side quests in the near future, the importance of Pegasi who is in dire need of experience points is self-evident.
And the reason why Tianma has been staying at home after the war is not without the idea of Taoguang and obscurity, after all, his strength is indeed not in the right way, so it is better to keep a low profile.
Therefore, Tenma also accepted the escort mission this time very happily, and it can be regarded as disappearing for a while, avoiding the limelight, and eliminating the vigilance of the upper echelons of the village.
In addition, the old immortal guy in Tuanzang is probably already paying attention to himself, and he doesn't want to enter that kind of paranoid and indifferent organization, so he can also use this mission to brand the Hokage represented by Jiraiya Lori, and tear his face in the future, which will be troublesome and unsightly.
Running quickly along the official road, when you are tired, stop and rest for a while, recover the chakra, and go all the way. By the evening of the next day, there was still half a day's way to go, and Pegasus was still on the border of the mountain country.
The A-level elite's all-out attack speed is not a joke, and because of the nearest route, it is still an official road, and with the help of medicine and wine, fatigue or something can be relieved quickly.
Taken together, the progress of Tenma's all-out journey in one day is enough to be more than two or three times the distance traveled by the average elite shinobi while retaining their combat power.
After running wild again for two or three hours, the sky was completely dark, and Pegasus finally stopped. It's a small hill, and there are no villages or towns around it, so it's quiet and empty.
Choosing a place to stay, Tenma decides to spend another night in the open. Chakra and physical strength are almost exhausted, and now they are almost close to the border of the mountain country, and if they are forced to hurry, they may really make a big mistake when they encounter a ninja who intercepts and kills.
Lying quietly on the gentle slope of the hills, without a bonfire, Tenma tore off the wine gourd hanging from his waist and poured it down, slowly waiting for his strength and chakra to recover.
In the silence of the mines, it is a pleasure to drink spirits alone in the dark, and Tenma's mood is always happy. When Chakra had recovered most of his life, and had once again completed his cell-activating practice with the help of medicinal wine, Tenma lay quietly on the gentle slope of the turf, and slowly fell asleep with the sound of insects and the wind.
At three or four o'clock in the morning, the temperature has dropped to the coldest time of the day, and this is also the time when humans are most sleepy.
In the dense woods growing at the edge of the mound, two ninja squads lurked quietly, looking at the forehead guards and clothes tied to their bodies, they were ninjas from the country of thunder, which was relatively close to the country of mountains.
One middle ninja, one special or upper ninja leads the team, and the remaining six are just cannon fodder at the lower ninja level.
"It's just a Konoha shinobi, and you actually let our two teams go out together?" The shinobi hid in the shadow of the tree, complaining with some dissatisfaction, "Moreover, you still have to sneak attack?" ”
"Be calm, Sara, isn't it just the right time to train these newly graduated shinobi cubs!" The special one seemed to have a good relationship with the middle ninja, and explained in a low voice, "The captain probably has this kind of plan, right?" Otherwise, just one A-level mission, you need to dispatch four squads! ”
Is it finally here? Lying quietly on the grass, Pegasus' eyes opened slightly, and he continued to pretend to be asleep silently, trying to keep his ears sideways, catching the subtle words brought by the cool night breeze.
There are actually four squads? When did Cloud Ninja Village become so manpowered? It seems that there is something strange in the country of mountains that is being targeted by Yun Ninja?
